The Australia national cricket team toured England between May and September 2019 to play in the 2019 Cricket World Cup, the Ashes and tour matches against Worcestershire and Derbyshire.^[1][2] In the Cricket World Cup, Australia failed to defend the title they won in 2015 and were knocked out in the semi-finals.^[3]

Cricket Australia named a 25-man preliminary squad for the Test series.^[4] Ahead of the first Test, they were scheduled to play against the Australia A team.^[5] However, this match was replaced by a four-day, intra-squad warm-up match, with Brad Haddin and Graeme Hick named as mentors of the two 12-man teams.^[6] Australia retained the Ashes after winning the fourth Test to take an unassailable 2–1 lead in the series,^[7] but England's victory in the final Test meant the series was drawn 2–2, the first drawn Ashes series since 1972.^[8]
